<P CLASS=para>
This exception signals that a string had an incorrect format
and could not be parsed.  It is typically thrown by the
<tt CLASS=literal>parse()</tt> or <tt CLASS=literal>parseObject()</tt> methods of
<tt CLASS=literal>Format</tt> and its subclasses, but is also thrown by
certain methods in the <tt CLASS=literal>java.text</tt> package that are
passed patterns or other rules in string form.  The
<tt CLASS=literal>getErrorOffset()</tt> method of this class returns the
character position at which the parsing error occurred in
the offending string.
